The Black Bonspiel is set in the fictional rural town of Wildrose, Alberta in the mid-1930s.
Wullie MacCrimmon, like a good Scot, lives to curl. He and his rink are so good that he attracts the attention of the Devil herself, who makes an offer hard to resist: He will win the Brier — if on his death, he will curl on the Devil’s team in hell.
Wullie makes the deal — but with the proviso that he will save his soul if his rink can beat the Devil in a challenge match. And so, Wullie’s rink takes on the Devil’s crew of Guy Fawkes, Judas Iscariot and Macbeth and in the most crucial curling match of all time, a matter of after-life and death.
This is a fine, old-fashioned, funny story, firmly set in the Canadian prairies, as you’d expect from W. O. Mitchell. You might even call it a sweeping saga.
Written by W.O. Mitchell; Directed by Nathan Linders
